A Playful End-of-the-Year Thank You Gift for Teachers

Thanks to Pinterest (see paragraph at the end of the post!) I found a playful, yummy, and useful way to thank my kids’ teachers for being such a important part of their lives this year. Here’s the gift we put together for each of the 5 teachers. A beach bucket filled with candy and teacher supplies … with each item representing an aspect of why we are so thankful.

Here’s the letter that will be signed by my kids and included in the bucket …

I SKORed big when I got you for a teacher this year. Don’t SNICKER, but I think you’re FANTA-stic! I’d be a NERD if I didn’t thank you for helping me put PIECES of knowledge together. You are MOUNDS of fun and you have brought me so much JOY. I think you ROCK and are definitely a CUT above the rest. Thanks BEARY much for always being so JOLLY and for helping me become so SMART and SHARP. Teachers like you are worth a MINT. You are Mighty & Magnificent and made this such a COLORFUL year. Thank you STICKING by me and for helping quench my THIRST for learning. I hope you have a KOOL and SMOOTH summer!

DISCLAIMER

A couple things to note while reading my blog:

1. Yup, I'm a psychologist and I this is one place I share my perspective as a therapist and parent. However, it is by NO MEANS a replacement for seeking individualized face-to-face services/treatment.

2. Most, if not all, of my projects and activities for kids are to be done with close ADULT SUPERVISION because they are intended to help foster healthy relationships and bonds. They should be done one-on-one with a child, or in small groups. Please use common sense considering the age and abilities doing the activities.

3. To help pay for the expense of the blog I have "click-through" advertisements which I get paid a percentage for. I also receive free products to review. My reviews are always based on my honest opinions of the product.
